they have filibusters chuck hagel over benghazi. and now mccain still claims there is a massive cover-up. what is going on here? >> i think what is going on is a bit strange, just as you've implied. let me tell you where i was on friday. i was out at the new naval complex, the bethesda walter reed medical complex, visiting with wounded warriors. these are people who paid almost the maximum price, some would say even more than the maximum price in iraq or afghanistan, triple amputees, double amputees. and we were talking about this. they brought the issue up of why mccain, graham, inhofe, cruz and others are opposing hagel, the real reason. and, you know, they dismissed inhofe. he never saw a foxhole in his life. they dismissed graham. he is an air force lawyer, never saw combat in his life. they dismissed cruz. they think he is an idiot. but when it came to john mccain, they shrugged their shoulders, and they looked at me and asked me why? this man is a veteran. this man was a prisoner of war. he showed a great deal of courage under

chuck hagel in his confirmation hearing the other day said, when he was pressed by mccain, history will make the judgment on the iraq war and whether it was a good thing or a bad thing or the end product. but the verdict of history is already in on the selling of the war. that's the focus of this film and i think -- >> another key point. you asked a good question. why didn't it work? one reason is they weren't prepared. we go into this in the book. it's not part of the documentary as much, but what would happen after the invasion? they thought it would all happen by magic. what you might call hubris and arrogance that the world would fall into place according to the neocon vision, and they put no thought into what it would mean for iraqis. 100,000 were killed. >> it means a chance for shia to fight sunni. thank you, guys. david corn, michael isikoff, the brains behind this great documentary that rachel maddow will present to you, "hubris, the selling of the iraq war." there is no better thing to do tonight than to watch this thing. >>> up next, only took 148 years, but mississippi, reme

hagel and john mccain, of course, and others even orrin hatch chuck hagel did not -- he fell one vote short. it looked like two votes short for confirmation in the senate. that's going to come back for a vote next week when they return. going to be any different this time? >> it will be different. i think the republicans have made clear they will let his nomination advance. what happened last week was that it got blocked in a procedural vote. it is not really a filibuster. we just want a few extra days to review his background review. his financial disclosure information and any other concerns that republicans have raised and so they made it clear they'll let the nominations advance next week then there's more -- obviously more than a majority of senators who will vote to confirm him. >> bill: so what was the purpose of this not confirming him or putting up a filibuster last week and then they come back next week and they vote the other way? what was the purpose of the two-week delay? >> they say it is because they want more time to think over the nomination. >> bill: what's the real
